Also add unlikely().

There are a lot of oversize warnings and patches about kvmalloc() calls
recently. Maybe these warnings are not very necessary.
Or maybe they are.  Please let's take a look at these warnings, one at

the runtime test.  But perhaps it's the case that calling code has
genuine issues and should be repaired.
